As something as important as Brexit and for reasons of clarity, openness, and understanding is it now time for our political journalists/presenters/interviewers across all media platforms to fully challenge individual MPs for their reasons for voting down the Prime Minister's deal. They are of course entitled to do so but at this late stage with the rise of national anxiety its only fair for the wider public to fully have a true understanding of why we are at a logjam. But of course those of us interested in Politics already know the answers to that.

We know Labour's party political stance, don't want to give linage to that. We know JR Moggs associates and DUPs stance. We also know the Lib Un-Democrats stance, being the only party openly campaigning for 2nd vote.

Your healthcare and education came at the full expense of the state, university too. You entered the job market when opportunities were abundant and benefits hard-won by the unions. You searched for a home when council housing was still a thing and Islington semis were two and sixpence. When Margaret Thatcher began selling off Britain’s assets and liberalising the economy, it was your generation who won — and promptly spent — the proceeds.

News this week that the budget deficit was getting bigger rather than smaller and that the national debt is now — despite George Osborne’s best efforts — massively more than when the Coalition came to power is a timely reminder that economic history tells you far more than pure economic theory about what is likely to happen in this world.
